Ryan Tannehill best games compilation

Late 4th quarter vs ravens, 4th & 10, down by a score, can't remember if it was '13 or '14. IIRC Sturgis missed a game winning fg at the end of this drive

I remember that play... beautiful throw. I think it was 2014, Lazor was already the OC, IIRC. I think that's that one game where Tannehill was getting pummeled almost every play (sounds familiar), yet we still managed to hang on until the end.

Tannehill has really been let down by teammates in a couple games, costing him 4th quarter GW drives. Wallace against Carolina springs to mind. That throw at the end, on the run, was beautiful. But it was to a Wallace.

Seahawks game is still the best for me. He came back from behind multiple times to win the game. It was the first game where I thought we might actually have a franchise QB if he can do it consistently. Tannehill's gotten better since then, but I'm still waiting for more frequent performances like his in the Seahawks game.

Seems like in his first couple of years in the league he was less technical, but played better unscripted football. It's like he depended more on his athletic abilities, both running and passing. Now it looks like he took a complete 180 turn under Joe Philbin and makes less overall mistakes, but tends to not play well when things go wrong and when he needs to make a play himself. I'm hoping Gase can revert him back to some of his natural tendencies, while still keeping mistakes to a mininum. If/when that happens, we'll have a heck of a QB, IMO.

IMO Tannehill's passing is very consistent. I think his percentage of bad throws compares favorably to the elites. The inconsistency comes from the decision-making, but my review of the last few seasons places much of that on the coaching. I thought the play-calling too often put Tannehill in situations where there simply wasn't a good decision to be made or the play call/situation provided an unreasonably small window to make a play.

theres some talent there, highlights are fun.

#1 priority is to give this particular player time to throw..

Yeah, what Philbin did to Tannehill really fits Philbin's personality. Would be awesome to see a half-bull**** "scientific" study on how coaches' personalities change QB play haha!

Or give him a tool or two to deal with the pass rush, like a balanced gameplan or audibles, for example.

Or coaches.

I think you've hit the nail on the head Brasfin. The memorable games that stand out to me for Tannehill are:

2012 - Seahawks
2014 - Broncos
2014 - Vikings
2015 - Texans
2015 - Patriots

Only other games I can think of would be maybe 2012 Cardinals and 2014 Raiders.

look how fast and thoroughly martin was beat on that play.

the vikings game(followed by patriots 2013) was my favorite, the whole game he was getting his ass kicked, by when given a sliver of time to throw he was making big time throws downfield, then when it looked like we lost the game due to the fumble on the kickoff, he led us down for the win. i would also nominate the game in the snow in pittsburgh 2013 as a good game as well.

People overlook it, but that Pittsburgh snow game in 2013 was a damn fine performance by Tannehill, and I don't think he'd ever played in snow like that before.

I think Ryan is a QB who needs to build his confidence. When he is feeling it.. You can tell in his demeanor. He's up on his tip toes bouncing.. He's animated.

I think something that isn't touched on a lot.. But will turn out to be very important is 17 having a coach that has his back.

I think we can all agree now how bad Philbin was. Gase is very different... Will do wonders for his confidence.

Some QBs supply their own confidence. 17 just isn't that guy..

How can a QB that has no confidence in himself be a leader?

I'd like to start this post by first acknowledging that everyone has the right to an opinion... I know a lot of people are divided on Tannehill, but I wanted to make a thread that lists some videos of Ryan Tannehill's best games and best plays throughout his NFL career so far, so that we can all see exactly what he's capable of.

We all know Tannehill has his flaws, but I think way too many people think he is a bottom QB in the league and that it's all he'll ever be. Hell, there are people saying a 7th round rookie who has never played an NFL down is already clearly better than Tannehill. You can make the argument that he's not doing enough to win by himself and that he hasn't played well in the 4th quarter, or displayed good leadership traits, sure.. those are things he needs to improve on.

But lets focus on his strengths right now, I mean the guy is the Dolphins starting QB and we should support him and cheer for him to get better every step of the way.

Here's a list of the highlights of games I really liked from Tannehill. Note that most of these games he has at least some decent protection from the OL.

One of the ones I most liked was the Seahawks game his rookie year near the bottom of the list. It just looks like he is really in control that game, makes some improvised runs and even leads a 4th quarter game winning drive. (Check it out, DJ)

I really think that with this new coaching staff and the ability to audible along with a much improved OL, we will see a much better Ryan Tannehill, playing to his strengths and actually taking the reigns of the offense.

2015- Pats (downfield throws, improvised run)

2015- Texans (consecutive completion record)

2014- Vikings (4th quarter comeback, downfield throws)

2014- Broncos (shootout vs Manning, running TD)

2014- Chargers (redzone TDs, long run)

2014- Bears (long run, downfield throws)

2013- Falcons (4th quarter comeback)

2013- Bengals (4th quarter comeback)

2013- Patriots (4th quarter comeback)

2012- Jaguars (downfield throws, improvised run)

2012- Seahawks (4th quarter comeback, improvised runs, downfield throws)

2012- Bengals

2012- Colts

2012- Rams

Boy, those 2012 games were so enjoyable to watch. He had so much more creativity then. He was more willing to run, throw off the run, etc. I hope he gets back to that.
It's also interesting to hear Marv Alberts, 3 times in 3 different highlights, talk about how Tannehill has so much audible control as a rookie.

Who says he has no confidence in himself? Besides you of course.

he can't..but he may have confidence in himself and still not be able to lead men..

ryans is a lead by example guy, his toughness and the fact that he's never called out anyone on his line is admirable..

leadership comes easy for some, notsomuch for others...such is life..ryan is not chad pennington.

You can be successful with Tannehills temperament, but it is not ideal IMO.

Who are you talking about? There were no QB's mentioned by name

VT didn't say Tannehill had no confidence. Perhaps Tannehill had no confidence in his teammates and coaches. That would make perfect sense.

Well, the thread is about Ryan Tannehill. The poster above you talked about Ryan Tannehill's confidence. Then you said "how can a QB who has no confidence in himself be a leader?"

This wasn't a tough case to crack.

He has confidence in himself... But it's not the kind you see in a QB with an alpha mentality. Some QBs just have a natural belief in themselves that absolutely nothing is going to keep them out of the EZ. Like I said you can tell w when Ryan is dealing... He's just a different QB.

Ryan may not be the rah rah type, but his toughness speaks for itself and it's absolutely something the other players in the locker room take note of. There are more ways to show leadership other than just yelling and screaming.

That's not to say Ryan doesn't have improvements to make on the leadership front, but he's not bereft of it either.
